Osana, the wife of one of Aldfrith's ealdormen, meets the new king at his wedding. Unhappily married, she fights her instant attraction to him. Likewise, Aldfrith is disarmed by Osana's warmth and directnessso unlike his cold bride. A union between Aldfrith and Osana is impossible Yet fate has much in store for them both. When Aldfrith's marriage fails two years later, and Osana is widowed, they meet once more.

The attraction between them is even stronger than ever, but love and passion are the last things on Aldfrith's mind. He's determined never to let lust override good sense and moral judgement.
